I used them a few times over the year, for a couple of single track rides and some <a href=\"cyclocross\">cyclocross<\/a> (CX)\u00a0races, but last\u00a0week he asked\u00a0for them back.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not much of a racer and only have a need for the tires a dozen or so times a year, but I wanted\u00a0want to have something other than my usual set of gravel road \/ pavement tires for these times. Particularly as the CX races that I do tend to be some of the more fun events I went ahead and ordered my own set.<\/p>\n<p>These are generally considered quite knobby when it comes to CX tires, something that the more serious people would reserve for muddy conditions, but I found them to be sufficient for my amateur needs on all off road surfaces. During a test ride at River Bends last year I was shocked with just how well they cornered, and at DICX and Barnyard CX (a friend&#8217;s private race on Labor Day) they did a great job of grabbing into grass and the soft surfaces usually associated to more-casual races.<\/p>\n<p>The tires have now been fitted to the <a title=\"2007 Jamis Nova\" href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2013\/07\/10\/2007-jamis-nova\/\">Jamis Nova<\/a>, my CX\/trainer bike, and if things work out as I hope tomorrow I&#8217;ll get to use them during some sunset-time race practice at Bloomer Park and a couple of races this autumn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About a year ago, when getting ready for the Detroit Invitational CX Race (DICX), my friend Joe lent me a worn pair of Clement Crusade&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2014\/10\/27\/clement-crusade-pdx-for-cx-stuffs\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Clement Crusade PDX for CX Stuffs<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23,10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18017","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-acquired-things","category-cycling","entry"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18017","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18017"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18017\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18018,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18017\/revisions\/18018"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18017"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18017"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18017"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
